In Our Bedroom After the War

Wake up, say good morning to That sleepy person lying next to you If there's no one there, then there's no one there But at least the war is over It's us, yes, we're back again Here to see you through, 'til the days end And if the night comes, and the night will come Well, at least the war is over Lift your head and look out the window Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go Listen, the birds sing, listen, the bells ring All the living are dead, and the dead are all living The war is over and we are beginning Gridlock on the parkway now The television man is here to show you how The channel fades to snow, it's off to work you go But at least the war is over She's gone, she left before you woke As you ate last night, neither of you spoke Dishes, TV, bed, the darkness filled with dread But at least the war is over Lift your head and look out the window Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go Listen, the birds sing, listen, the bells ring All the living are dead, and the dead are all living The war is over and we are beginning We won, or we think we did When you went away, you were just a kid And if you lost it all, and you lost it Well, we'll still be there when your war is over Lift your head and look out the window Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go Listen, the birds sing, listen, the bells ring All the living are dead, and the dead are all living The war is over and we are beginning Here it comes, here comes the first day Here it comes, here comes the first day It starts up in our bedroom after the war It starts up in our bedroom after the war, after the war After the war After the war After the war After the war After the war After the war
